Alzheimer’s Society Services in Rotherham If you think you may have a form of dementia, or are caring for a person who has dementia, there are many ways that Alzheimer’s Society in Rotherham can help. Someone to talk to You can phone at any time during our opening hours to talk in confidence with a member of our Dementia Support Team. Our team are here to listen when you just feel the need to talk, or to offer advice on specific issues. Support from Dementia Support Workers Our Dementia Support Workers can offer advice on accessing professional help. We are in touch with a wide range of services and other advice centres throughout Rotherham, so we can put you in touch with specialists who can help you if your concerns are outside of our expertise. We can also refer you, or the person you care for, to services provided for people with dementia in Rotherham, particularly if you are having trouble accessing these yourself. Home Visits We can also arrange for a Dementia Support Worker to visit you at home and provide information, advice and support. 14
